The Edmonton Oilers signed pending restricted free-agent defenseman Matt Benning to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

The contract reportedly comes with an average annual value of $1.9 million, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.

In two years with the Oilers, Benning has totaled 36 points in 135 games played. The 24-year-old managed a plus-5 rating, despite the team's poor season in 2017-18.
